In a deal that’s been rumored for weeks, Paul Pierce will reportedly sign a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Pierce opted out of a player option with the Washington Wizards, where he spent last season helping a young DC core to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Now, the future Hall of Famer joins Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, new addition Lance Stephenson and possibly DeAndre Jordan in LA, where The Truth is originally from. Welcome home, Paul.
From TNT‘s David Aldridge:
Wished I was wrong, but wasn't: Paul Pierce agrees to three-year deal with Clippers, per sources.

Pierce deal is at the mini-mid level for taxpaying teams, per sources. Two years beginning at $3.3, with option for third year.

Three-year deal is worth about $10.5 million, though I doubt Pierce will ever see that third year. Tough blow for Wizards.
